| The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', is a [[human]] government initiative specializing in purifying and distributing [[water]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/earth '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Earth'']</ref>

| The initiative originated in the 24th Century in the [[East African Protectorate]], where it purified and transported melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Most notably, the initiative operates the [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] that carry the still relatively clean melt water for distribution across the entire continent.<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287 '''Bungie.net''': ''Ghost Town Revealed'']</ref> In addition to Earth, GWC was based on other UNSC colonies, including the agricultural regions of [[Reach]].<ref name="wc">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref> | | The '''Global Water Campaign''', or '''GWC''', was a 24<sup>th</sup> Century company specializing in purifying and transporting melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. The company operated the [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] along the [[Tsavo Highway (Location)|Tsavo Highway]] for distribution across the continent and built a hydroelectric processing plant. It is unknown what happened to the company but by the 26<sup>th</sup> Century, both the hydroelectric facility and its main complex have fallen into disrepair, overgrown with the African jungle.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13287</ref> |

| By the 26th century, the main water purification facility in Africa had fallen into disrepair, while other facilities still continued to be more or less active. It is apparent that the activity of the GWC continued elsewhere, as evidenced by the operational status of some of the initiative's facilities, and the fact that relatively new water barrels with "GWC" printed on them were still commonplace during [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|wc}}<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[NMPD HQ]]''</ref>
| | The hydroelectric facility was briefly occupied by the [[Covenant]] in late [[2552]] as they searched for [[SPARTAN-117]], eventually routed by the [[Spartan]] and scattered [[Marine]] ground forces and a [[Hocus|gunship]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', [[Sierra 117 (Level)]]</ref> |

| ==Known facilities==
| |
| *'''[[Mount Kilimanjaro Water Plant]]''' - Located in the jungles near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] in [[Tanzania]], this complex was once home to the Global Water Campaign. By the 26th Century, this complex was long-abandoned and had fallen into disrepair, overgrown with African jungle.
| |
| *'''[[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]]''' - Located along an unidentified river near the main complex, the hydroelectric facility was active in [[2552]]. The hydroelectric facility was briefly occupied by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] during the [[Battle of Earth]] in late 2552 as they searched for [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]], eventually routed by the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] and scattered [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] ground forces and a [[D77H-TCI Pelican|gunship]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Sierra 117]]''</ref>
| |
| *'''[[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]]''' - Located along the [[Tsavo highway (location)|Tsavo Highway]], the pipes distribute water across the entire African continent.
| |
| *'''[[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03]]''' - One of the many pump houses along the pipelines, supplying water to the industrial town of [[Voi]] in [[Kenya]].
